    Default Weird poker variant I played...(need help)

    Basic rules are 4 players, everyone dealt 13(yes) cards. You make 3 hands
    A front, middle and back hand. The front hand is 3 cards, the middle hand 5 and back is 5. The back hand must beat the front hand, and the middle hand is played for low(27)

    The scorign was basically you win 1 point for each hand you beat, and lose 1 for each hand that beats you.

    Anyways I'm dealt
    A K J 7
    J 9 6
    8 2
    K 9 8 5

    How would you play this?

    I apologize for not giving a lot of info, I really wasnt focussed on the game at all.

    this game is called Chinese Poker correct?

    Front KKA

    Middle 87652

    Back JJ998

    Basically forfeit winning the back hand and hope you nail the front and middle, I have a hard time seeing you lose both of these at any rate, so if you do lose at least its not 3 out of 3.

    Chinese poker is played the same way only there is no low hand, the back must beat the middle hand, which must beat the front hand.

    Yeah thats how the ony guy introduced the game, but anotehr suggested 2-7 for the middle hand. So its basically a CP variant?

    This game is actually so simple that someone who has never played a hand could be good at it

    It's true, I set my hand correctly(according to Steve) without ever playing it ^^
